Introduction
This guide provides information on the installation of the DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+ modules as a digital solution. Using these modules in a
digital configuration require the module to be flashed with vehicle specific firmware. Refer to our website (www.directechs.com) and click on
the DIRECTLINK text in the header for additional information.
DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+ modules provide an all-in-one solution for most modern vehicles, and include remote start, keyless entry, security,
and immobilizer bypass capabilities. T-harnesses may also be used in many applications for easy installation.
The following methods are available to configure modules:
• Web: www.directechs.com (DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+)
• Desktop Application: Directlink DT (DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+)
• Mobile Device: Directlink App (DS4/DS4+ only)
When Flashing via Directlink DT (Desktop app) or via the Web, an XKloader2 will be required.
To configure via Web or DirectLink DT (mobile app):
1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source.
2. Connect the module to your computer using the XKLoader2.
3. Follow the steps in the pop-up window that will be displayed when the module is detected.
Notes:
•Flashing via web is only possible using Internet Explorer on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10.
•This method is not compatible with any other browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, etc.)
•When using Windows 11 or newer, Directlink DT is mandatory.
The DS4/DS4+ module is designed to be configured using the DirectLink application through mobile devices.
To download the DirectLink mobile application, visit the Google Play or Apple store. They can also be
configured via Web and DirectLink DT. The DS4/DS4+ features are built in Bluetooth® 4.0, allowing you to
configure and control your system. The DS3/DS3+ module is not equipped with Bluetooth®, therefore is not
compatible with the DirectLink app for mobile devices.
To configure via DirectLink DT (mobile app):
1. Follow and complete the wiring diagram(s) related to your installation through the app.
2. When installation is complete, select Configure DS4/DS4+.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Firmware notes
Doors: To remote start the engine, the hood, hatch and all doors must be closed.
Runtime: It is normal for the key symbol to flash during remote start runtime.
Caution: In these vehicles, the factory keyless entry module is sensitive to interference and may cease to operate without notice.
Ensure you disconnect the (-) terminal of the battery prior to disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors at the start/stop module
below the steering wheel to avoid damage to the keyless entry module.
T-Harness (THMAN1):
•All T-Harness wires not listed in the diagram are not required for the installation. Loose wires such as Siren Output and
Hood Input may need to be pulled from the tapped section of the T-harness. Refer to the "wiring diagram with T-Harness"
for more information on connections and installation instructions.
•The optional Plug & Play THMAN1 T-Harness is sold separately.
•All T-Harness wires not listed in the diagram are not required for the installation.
Fuses: It is important to check that the fuses are positioned correctly in the module. Proper fuse positioning is displayed
on each wiring diagram.
Unless specified otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side.
Refer to the Vehicle connections section following the installation diagram.
Footnotes
[1] Hood pin: The installation of an aftermarket hood pin is only required on vehicles that are not equipped with a factory hood pin or if
not supported in data.
[2] Siren: Only required when enabling the security features during module flashing.
[3] Runtime: Connection required to retain vehicle takeover and OEM remote functionality during remote start runtime.
[4] Parking lights: Connection required when not supported in data. See the Locating components in the vehicle section for more
information about accessing the parking wiring.
